Morant suffered the injury in Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He played through the pain and finished with 20 points and 10 assists, but the Grizzlies are opting to rest him for precautionary reasons.

The Grizzlies are 10-8 this season with Morant in the lineup and 1-5 without him. Morant is averaging 24.1 points, 7.7 assists, and 6.0 rebounds per game.

The Grizzlies will be hoping to get Morant back in the lineup as soon as possible. He is one of the most dynamic players in the NBA and his absence will be a major blow to the team's playoff hopes.
